    That game was there for us to win i think. We just sat back and tried to soak up the pressure until it told. Yes Dobbin could and should have wrapped the game up and we had some chances via low crosses into the box but once again it was far from inspiring. The substitutions were nothing short of odd and change in shape didn't have the effect we wanted. Yes we always struggle at Burton but this was 2 points thrown away

    Over qualified for the job?, If you think this then research the company(if you already hadn't)In the interview get to know who are interviewing you(short timeframe)Don't take hold of the interview but be at their level, Make them believe they are holding the interview when in reality it's you.
    Lots of letters after your name can be and will be a blocking point, If your looking for something outside of your field that doesn't require what you've studied for then leave them off the application.
    There's interviewers out there who don't like interviewing people who are smarter than them...as they'll see you as competition, Plenty of work out there...but minimum wage might not be what you're after.
    All the best in your endeavours ?

    The way coventry and birmingham fans acted during our crisis was beyond grim. You expect that kind of behaviour from Forest fans but the aggression and glee involved from both those lot means they have lost all sympathy with me.

    Leeds Ram got a reaction from Miggins in Career advice   
    I know this may come across as totally random but am at a total crossroads career wise and am looking for advice. I've now finished education (BA, MA, PhD) in Politics with my specialism in Political Theory and Middle Eastern Studies. I've got 4 years tutoring behind me both at the University as well as with private organisations such as Oxford Scholastica and The Brilliant Club as well as presenting at a dozen conferences in the two years I was applying including  PSA and Brismes (considered leading conferences in my field of study).  My viva went really well and the external examiner said  my thesis as it was rich, original and inventive and he recommended I turn it into a monograph.  
    However, I'm just totally unsure what to do now. Academia is the natural route for me but it is becoming hyper competitive defined by stagnant wages, very long hours and a total lack of security. During my PhD I've had to prioritise work that paid (despite this have written a book chapter and have 2 journal articles under review) so my cv is less hot on written material so that can be an uphill struggle. However, I've got no idea what to do outside of this field. I've been for a couple of interviews that I felt went really well but have been told no and felt that the only sticking point in the interview was the PhD itself. Additionally, moving fields at my age (29) means I'll be starting at the bottom as I've got 0 experience of working outside of academia.
    So to finally get to the point I'm just wondering if anyone had any advice about what to do about all of this. I've got no clue as to what to do and it's really playing on my mind. Especially as my gf has almost finished her architecture degree and we'd like to move in together at some point soon so time is now becoming a factor as well.

    True the lack of reciprocity from Coventry was terrible. That Birmingham game will always stick in my head though. Both clubs undergoing boardroom problems, a massive march from the city center to the ground and a full house on sky should have provided the perfect setting for a joint expression of anger towards our owners and the EFL. Instead, the vast majority became increasingly classless singing joyously at the possibility of our extinction in what was an emotionally charged day.

    Leeds Ram reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in v Burton Albion (A) - Predictions   
    It’s going to be a terrific game. It’s going to be as exciting as it is electric. It’s a derby game. Burton Albion in the past have always been in the shadow of Derby County, until the last few years. Nowadays I’d say it’s more a level playing field. It’s an occasion we’re going to relish.”
    If any of the above were true in anyway, I'd have to give up football.  How many tabs of LSD has he had.

    Leeds Ram got a reaction from jimtastic56 in Sheffield Wednesday (H) (Sat 3rd Dec 2022, 12:30 KO)   
    Wednesday looked fine defensively and we couldn't really trouble them. McGoldrick is the one inventive player we seem to possess in the final third but he needs more help than he's getting atm. Cashin and Forsyth at the back were very good. Still got no idea why Warne is playing Sibley at left back....

    The most impressive thing is not the score but the manner in which we've won. Iran are 20th in the world and the last 2 world cups have shown they're no mugs. We look comfortable in midfield and formidable going forward. This is the system that we need to use i think going forward. Defensively there are potentially some issues but how much of that is complacency due to being 4-0 and 6-1 up is debatable.

    Well, if Ecuador hadn't slowed down and basically game managed they could have had a hat-full tbh. Not convinced the first one was offside as it looked like it came off the keeper but that's VAR for you. Qatar despite being Asian cup champions wouldn't have looked out of place in our 4th division quite honestly. I think what was even more telling was the stadium emptying by 50 minutes... Despite their apparent 'love' of football the Qatari public couldn't bear more than 50 minutes of their first ever World Cup game. It had all the atmosphere of one of our pizza cup games with a 'singing section' smaller than our south stand.
